Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food
Dog Control and Sheep-Worrying: Discussion
2:00 am
Paul Lawless (Mayo, Aontú)
My point is that there is an issue around illegal hare coursing in the country. It has a knock-on effect where groups of people are coming onto farmers' lands and letting their dogs off. This is a huge issue in south and north Mayo and I want to register it here in the committee. We need to do a significant amount of work on this and if we cannot talk about some of the key issues on it-----
